Everyone, lets face it: Nintendo needs to take pokemon out back behind the shed, put the muzzle to its head and whisper their teary eyed goodbyes to the most abused and over-marketed series they have (next to, of course, the dried up burlap sack of a whore that is Mario). yes, thats a yahtzee quote. sue me.

The games really are just the same thing over and over and over. Minor changes shouldn't warrant a whole new game that is barely the least bit different. The entire draw of pokemon is the pokemon, and if the pokemon are lame now, the games have less value. Its getting bland and tasteless. FIf you've seen any of the pokemon from black and white, then you know what I mean. They have gotten just ridiculous.

Also, the show: ridiculous. Yes, i know its all about the money, i get it, but...
Its just way too bogus already. Even if it is for 10 yr old kids, its just sooooo lame. Just... something... new! ANd the games? I'm just so tired of the fact that they will never stop making new pokemon, never stop making new, horrendous games, and honestly, just cause somethings popular doesn't mean it in the right. Popular bullshit is still bullshit.
Oh, and when i mean end it, i mean just stop making more and more ridiculous pokemon, and more and more bogus stories, so just stop while your ahead (sorta). If you can try and change it up, good luck and i hope it doesn't suck... but:

Nintendo, I beg you, just end it.

No, don't end it. But actually make a new game.

Hear me out:

Rather than adding 8 bajillion pokemon, add about 50. Spend the rest of your time and money on an actually interesting story, improved overworld mechanics, etc.

They will never end it as long as they are making money. Just look at all the other Nintendo franchises.

I all I read was, "I don't like this any more so stop making them."


I like Pokemon, I can't wait for B/W. If you don't like it don't play/watch it.

How about you listen to what Pokemon is about. It is not a series about plot, and has never been. The Pokemon are no different than they were before, other than the fact that the old anime is better and the art style changed slightly. It is the same game, in the same style, so stop complaining about it, and if you don't like it play something else. Quit being ignorant and use your head.

I'm sorry, but there is a far more pressing concern that needs a discreet dignified death.

As much as I despise pokemon, there's no reason to end it just yet. What the damn thing needs to do is evolve more instead of being this derivative grind fest that adds negligible incremental changes for every installment. You can tout all you want about the meta game and how it's potentially changed, but that's hardly much compared to the rest of the games mechanics and design.

Improve the damn games in a meaningful way or yea...just kill that horrid thing.

Not until Ash collects them all with Brock and Misty in every region.

The other guys and gals who are the main people in the new ones can go off and die but Ash needs to do it!

Comon, the guy wants to catch them all, yet he caught about 20 in the first region and let about 70 go, then buggered off to somewhere new and only caught a few of them till he buggered off again! He has commitment issues.

If you've seen any of the pokemon from black and white, then you know what I mean. They have gotten just ridiculous.

Also, the show: I happened to have LOVED the original series and it is a corner stone of my childhood, but now... I mean my god. I can't help but think "Oh no, the future generation is gonna see this and do one of two things: love it (which would make me weep) or hate it and there-by think it is representative of what pokemon once was."

Nintendo, I beg you, end it.
Actually that award goes to every sports game pumped out by EA

I don't see why people are whining, for one I like the new pokemon, the new games are all fine, just because they changed somethings doesn't mean they need to kill the series, it's fine, besides remember what happened last time nintendo decided to change the formula (Metroid: Other M), I'd rather see new pokemon with every generation than just have them "Upgrade" everything else, remember the "Colosseum" games they were awful, they added a stupid mechanic that only let you catch "Shadow Pokemon" that were useless unless you "Purified" them first, somehow that game warranted a sequel which was even worse, remember the ranger games, "I draw circles till the pokemon decide to help me" and even then it was more a rental than anything else. Frankly I'd be careful what you wish for, you might just get it...

for years, I have prayed to the Nintendo overlords, God, and even the FSM, for a Pokemon RPG.
YES! and while play as a trainer might be ok, I want to play as a pokemon! Pick your pokemon, lvl up by fighting other pokemon and players, and eliminate the trainers from the equation. Just pokemon in a pokemon environment. Kinda like dungeon quest if dungeon quest wasn't piss...

I don't care if they keep making games, but murder the show. There isn't a story to carry the show in the games, and they just shovel crap in. If they really need to continue some sort of pokemon series, make a sitcom with Jessie and James, but not that annoying Meowth. Perfect formula.

I say Escapists just take this stupid-ass thread behind the shed. And maybe that phrase, since it's tossed around an awful lot.

Do you really think even a thousand signatures(more than this thread will ever get) would make Nintendo and Game Freak even consider stopping Pokemon?

"Stop the abuse". Really? Nintendo is abusing the franchise by exploring interesting new Pokemon ideas and tweaking the gameplay for more diverse, straegic battles. And STILL keeping it simple and accessible?

Not even gonna call you out on your Mario dissing.

DAMN! i thought this was a thread about the running joke of whether it's right to take pokemon out of their natural habitats, away from their families and forced to fight endlessly, the only release being getting stuffed in a digital box for the rest of their days, oh right, the topic

NEVER END IT!!! you cant just rob people of pokemon! it's like saying Christianity's gone on for too long! Not that I'm suggesting some sort of pokemon religion, although I'd consider joining if someone else did!

(please continue to watch over me Arceus...)

I wouldn't say kill it, maybe try and erase the last three generations, sure. But I think if they just tried a fresh approach towards the games, like take them off the handhelds, maybe experiment with some new genres...

But the likely route is we'll be getting another 100 in about two years with another team rocket/aqua/magma/galactic/universe/infinite/pure transcended consciousness... Sorry, lost tack there...

With the same eight gyms with even more tired, unimaginative 'mons....

Probabaly long after I'm dead from old age...
And I'm only 22...
